So i stayed til the end and ended up winning the Stark Juicer, given that the next prize was an iPod Video 30GB and was won by the next form out of the jar I was a little miffed, which may seem ungrateful since I did win but hell I'll admit that the juicer will never get any use in my house unless my son uses it as a spaceship whereas the iPod would have got some severe use.. oh well it's the taking part right!
The biggest downer was getting slightly lost on the way to the tube, just enough of a delay to miss my train at 18:00, I literally rocked up to the platform as it was pulling away, not the first time that has happened to me I have to say but frackin annoying nonetheless, my bad knee is throbbing like a bitch from trying to get there on time and it was all for nothing in the end.
18:38 I'm on the next train now and it's already 8 minutes past the due departure time and nothing is happening which is not a good sign, train is totally packed though, I get the feeling something is wrong tonight and this will be a very bad trip home, more later if this turns out to be true.
18:40 at least a ten minute further delay due to crew transferring from an incoming and presumably late train to this one, everyone around me seems to have food, I don't and am very hungry
18:52 another announcement that due to severe disruption earlier today they are waiting for a driver no estimation of when this driver might turn up
19:00 quite a few people have left the train and for all I know they could be on their way but since I am settled in with a table, power and all luggage stowed I just know that the moment I get past the end of this train it would leave and I would be stuck waiting for another so I'm sitting tight
19:07 we're moving !! i just hope they have food on here too now as am starving
20:00 got some food
21:55 arrive Darlington at last
